Questions about ventilation repairs and fault finding in Tayside
Are prices different in Tayside?
Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In Tayside we use Scotland rates, so home repair or fault-finding visit, first hour (parts extra) is typically £90 to £160 inc VAT per visit.
Is it worth repairing an old extractor fan?
Usually not for a basic bathroom fan, because a new fan costs little more than the repair. MVHR, PIV and commercial fans are often worth repairing.
Why is my extractor fan humming but not spinning?
A humming fan that does not spin often has a failed capacitor, seized bearing or obstruction. It should be switched off until repaired.
Is the survey free in Tayside?
This is a charged visit because it is servicing, testing or repair work. We tell you the cost before booking. Surveys for new installations on the UK mainland are free.
